Meeting with style

“In the office board room, we see all traders around the table. 11 fully clothed men and 6 fully naked women.”

Mr.Larson: This meeting has been called on short notice, so I apologize for the abruptness of it all. We just need to coordinate the logistics of our trade deals over seas. Our Asian product deals are falling to more regional Chinese corporations. It’s cheaper to transport women by land then over seas. With storms creating lost shipments and security against pirates running up costs. So the Asian deals we did have, opted for Chinese products. They’ve even cornered the African market, since that can also be delivered by land. We need to figure out a more cost effective system that doesn’t cost us profit, thereby regaining our deals in Asian trade. Preferably before they have the means to take our European deals as well.

Trader #1: My daughter was purchased last month to a buyer somewhere in Turkey. She was delivered with a private air mail company I made connections with.

Trader #2: Independent Pilates could work for less because they are not a corporately owned delivery service. Any extra cost would just be fuel. Which would still be less then shipping them.

Trader #1: Even better if we had our traders deliver them personally as “carry on” even on board a public passenger flight. Carry on doesn’t get charged for a flight ticket.

They all laugh.

Jackson: Well, I think we could really push sales in the Americas. Both continents are connected by land, we just need to bypass the Panama Canal. Fisher boats or leisure vessels could do it. If we truck product as far as the Canal, we could make deals with private vessel owners as “freelance” transporters. Do we still have connections with the traders in Colombia? They could cover any deliveries past that point. Like a profit sharing deal. A trades deal like that could build potentially more deals on other resources from there as well. It could be an overall economy boost.

The group mutters in agreement.

Mr.Larson: Very productive dialogue and some good options have been put forward. We will reconvene on this a week from today after mulling over these ideas. So at least now you have the heads up. Speaking of heads up.

He shouts under the table.

Mr.Larson: Heads up!

11 naked women rise up from under the table and collectively wipe off their mouths.

Mr.Larson: Thank you service team, that will be all.

They leave.

Mr.Larson: As for the rest of you, we are adjourned. I want written feedback and input on what was discussed here.

All leave.

Jackson takes the hands of 2 of the female members of the board and whisks them off to a private place.
